This is a great movie, so when I found out that our DVD copy had several scratches and couldn't play the last 5 minutes of the movie right, I knew we absolutely needed to get a Blu-Ray copy and did just that. The movie came new, the way I ordered it, and is great. I don't know if this is the only zombie comedy-romance movie or not, but I don't have to know about any others to know that this has to be the best!

I'm not big into zombie or romance movies but I do seek out comedic films of any stripe. If for no other reason, this movie is worth a watch for the hilarious opening scenes. I don't laugh out loud much at movies, but this managed it several times. Once passed the opening scenes, the movie mostly gives over to romantics for awhile. But, the last quarter of the film is a fun zombie romp satisfying to all agendas.

I read a poor review of this film on NY Times and from audience reaction to it, which was totally opposite from the review, I purchased this film, thinking I would probably only want to see it one time. Boy, was I wrong. Not only was it charming, witty, not dumb, and very, very well acted as well as produced very, very well, it had a performance by John Malkovich which was totally different from anything I ever saw him play. In Zombie movies their is alway a fanatical, take no prisoners, kill everything in sight leader who at one point or another goes totally off the rails and starts butchering everything because it feels so good to him and gives him so much power. Expecting this to be the type of character we were going to get, who would end up getting blown up or something, I was totally surprised when there were certain scenes in which the guy showed signs of being the leader, but not really knowing what he should do, so he'd ask for an opinion. I'm not going to go into details because that would ruin it for you. The film is really about the haves and have nots and that blasted 1% who wants to take over everything. I totally loved this film and Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer were a sweet, sweet pair and their love story really drives the film. Dave Franco is in it too, and as usual, he was tops. For a young man with a not so buff body, Nicholas Hoult has a beautiful face, in fact he was much prettier than the heroine. Kind of like Montgonery Clift up against Olivia DeHaviland in "The Heiress".

It's a light hearted zombie film. This review will focus on the 4K HDR transfer and Dolby Atmos track.

This movie isn't very colorful so it doesn't really benefit from a WCG. Though there's a uptick in detail levels especially in dark scenes. If you have an OLED TV with Dolby Vision you'll be in for a treat.

The Dolby Atmos track is great as all R's conversation with himself are played exclusively in the height channels.

Zombie movies are awesome, but let's be honest- this genre has been beaten to hell over the past couple of years. Zombie movies, zombie shows, fast zombies, slow zombies, medical zombies, don't know why zombies... it's been a lot of misses with a couple of hits. This is a hit.Warm Bodies has the subtle sarcastic humor in the vein of Zombieland, but focuses on the plight of the zombie. Hoult delivers fantastically as the sensitive undead protagonist. The fact that the origin of the zombie apocalypse isn't identifiable due to your hero being unable to remember because he's slowly deteriorating is awesome. The storyline's great, simplistic but great. Don't hold your breath for special effects- the cgi is obvious and choppy. But the acting's spot on- though I don't like Malkovich being so uptight. I prefer his crazy self in RED.This is my version of the perfect Valentine's Day movie- blood, guts, and a sappy love story. With a nice dose of sarcastic humor. Perfection.

I don't like zombies. That's plain and simple enough, but I liked this movie because it wasn't the usual run of the mill, formulaic shambling, shuffling, eat brains depiction. These zombies still have hearts...which soon enough begin to beat again and bring them back to humanity because of that little four letter word...L*O*V*E*. I originally saw this film in a theater and its Undead Romeo and Still Alive Juliet theme won me over. It's cute, and it's entertaining, with just enough tongue-in-cheek to keep it from being an out-and-out satire while still retaining some drama. I understand a sequel's in the making. Hope it's as good.

The concept was more or less unique as zombie movies go, but the timing in the film was off. Part of being a zombie is the ability to kil without remorse or regret. A person with any remorse or regret at all would cease to be a zombie, so the lead character should not have killed people when he was able to think and reason. We should have seen him kill, then have his awakening and stop killing. He killed the boyfriend of the girl and ate his brain after he was aware of his action, therefore he was a murderer. All in all, the movie was enjoyable, even with that rather major plot hole.

I watched Warm Bodies tonight with my grandson, who had already seen it. I saw the previews in the theater, too, but hadn't been able to see the flick till now.

Fun, quirky, and very unique version of a happy-ending Romeo & Juliet meets the Zombies. John Malkovich was great in his brief appearances as the city leader whose daughter Julie was part of the group sent 'outside' for medications. Her boyfriend Perry is attacked & killed on their mission by 'R', who eats Perry's brains & gathers his memories. R takes Julie with him & keeps her safe, inadvertently beginning the process of 'reviving' himself. Picture a 100th monkey effect & there you have it.
